Choosing and Becoming the Right Leader for Youth - Bob & Landon Grimm

The future of the church rests in how we invest in the next generation. But how do you know if someone is truly ready to shepherd students? This session will unpack the key qualities every church should look for in a youth pastor—spiritual maturity, relational capacity, leadership skills, and a heart for students—and encourage those called to youth ministry with insight into how to prepare for this vital role.

Bob Grimm and his wife Cara are lead pastors at Life Church in Walla Walla, Washington. His heart is to see the local church throw open their doors to people far from God and help them find life in Jesus. He doesn’t want anyone to miss out on the best part of life - serving and following Jesus. 

Landon and his wife Abbi are Next Generation pastors at LIFE Church in Walla Walla, WA. They met at youth camp in high school and both graduated from Portland Bible College before returning to Walla Walla to pastor together. Their hearts are to see young people living victorious, set apart lives that reach their schools and cities for Jesus. 

We hope that this teaching left you more encouraged and equipped today. Ministers Fellowship International exists to help leaders build healthy, strong, impacting churches and to do so in a way that makes for a healthy leader.
